What this means for you
Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The source metadata explicitly classifies the recall as 'High - Class I' and 'Class I'. According to the rubric, if the agency's own classification is FDA Class I or USDA Class I, the score is never below 4, and Class I generally corresponds to a Critical (5) rating in this context due to the high risk of serious adverse health consequences from undeclared allergens.
